Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of fibers, in particular, to a preparation method of Lyocell staple fiber and Lyocell staple fiber. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lyocell fiber is a kind of cellulose fiber prepared by dry-jet wet spinning method with N-methyl morpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) as solvent. Lyocell fiber uses wood pulp, bamboo pulp and cotton pulp as raw materials, and the recovery rate of N-methyl morpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) reaches more than 99.5% during the preparation process, which is economically applicable and environmentally friendly, and has no pollution to the environment. Lyocell fiber has excellent mechanical properties and good moisture absorption, and has silk-like luster and soft hand feeling, and is known as "the most promising green fiber in the 21st century", and has been widely produced at home and abroad.

[0003] Lyocell fiber has high crystallinity and orientation, and is easy to absorb water and swell in a wet environment, so that the hydrogen bonds between fibrils are destroyed and the lateral bonding force is weakened. Therefore, under the action of mechanical force, the fibrils will separate from each other, and the fibrillation phenomenon will occur on the surface of the fiber. The fibrillation tendency of Lyocell fiber seriously limits the application of Lyocell fiber.

[0004] In order to improve the fibrillation problem of Lyocell fiber:

[0005] Patent CN1119030A uses polyethylene glycol as a crosslinking agent to prepare non-fibrillated Lyocell fiber, which has the disadvantage of high crosslinking temperature, which can easily damage the fiber;

[0006] Patent CN104005225A uses glyoxal as a crosslinking agent, magnesium chloride, aluminum sulfate and tartaric acid as catalysts. Glyoxal will volatilize into the air during production, which will pollute the environment;

[0007] Patents CN110924153A and CN113265788A use TAHT as a crosslinking agent and inorganic alkali as a catalyst, and use a mixed addition method of crosslinking agent and catalyst. The crosslinking agent will hydrolyze in the mixed solution, which is not conducive to the efficient use of the crosslinking agent, and the solidification time is long, which is not conducive to industrial production.

[0008] Therefore, the present application is proposed. SUMMARY

[0009] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a preparation method of Lyocell staple fiber to improve the utilization rate of crosslinking agent, enhance the mechanical properties of the fiber, avoid fiber brittleness and reduce the preparation cost.

[0010] The basic idea of the technical scheme of the present application is: a preparation method of lyocell staple fiber, comprising:

[0011] 1) preparing fiber filaments and cutting the fiber filaments into staple fibers;

[0012] 2) laying the staple fibers into a fiber web;

[0013] 3) after cross-linking reaction on the fiber web, the fiber web is disentangled to obtain lyocell staple fiber.

[0014] In the present application, the fiber web forms a bending point, and the cross-linking stage is carried out on the fiber web, which improves the fiber brittleness; the additives and cross-linking agents can be uniformly distributed on the fiber web, ensuring uniform anti-fibrillation performance of the cross-linked fibers, improving the mechanical properties of the fibers, and having a high cross-linking rate.

[0015] Further, the cross-linking reaction of step 3) comprises: applying cross-linking agents, salt agents, and alkali agents on the fiber web, and performing cross-linking reaction under heating conditions.

[0017] Further, the method of applying cross-linking agents, salt agents, and alkali agents comprises: first applying one or two of the cross-linking agents, salt agents, and alkali agents, and then applying the remaining one or two; or simultaneously applying the cross-linking agents, salt agents, and alkali agents.

[0033] Further, the cross-linking agent is selected from triazine cross-linking agents, preferably 1,3,5-acrylamide hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine.

[0034] Preferably, the concentration of the cross-linking agent is in the range of 0.3-6wt%, preferably 0.5-3wt%.

When the fineness of the lyocell staple fiber is 1.3dtex, the wet rubbing value is 780-810 times, that is, the lyocell fiber obtained by the preparation method of the present application has a higher wet rubbing value, indicating that the anti-fibrillation performance of the lyocell fiber is excellent.
